As for medication. I would assume that if you produced packaging from medicine that was in your posession that was prescribed to you, went to a chemist with you passport & explained the situation the chemist would sell you the medication that you re on. Supposition on my part though.

Mixed signals from Eyjafjallajökull

Quote:
Iceland's Meterological Office said tremors from the volcano had grown more intense and had increased from a day ago, but that the column of steam and ash rising from the volcano had eased back to 4-5 km (2.5-3 miles) from as high as 11 km when it started erupting earlier this week.

"We are seeing mixed signals. There are some hints that the eruption will be decreasing, and others that show it is not decreasing," Einar Kjartansson, a geophysicist at the Meteorological Office, told Reuters.
